One of the first chances we got to see RED DRAGON footage was from Peter Collister. He posted these shots that really show off how well DRAGON handles skin tone.

Axiom Images took the RED DRAGON to the skies and shot these stunning night aerial images of Los Angeles.

There are currently two other impressive aerial 6K DRAGON videos out there:

If you really want to see just how well DRAGON handles low light situations, you have to watch this candle lit ISO test from Phil Holland.

We can’t wait to see what else people shoot with this beautiful sensor! Is there a project you’re planning on using RED DRAGON for? Let us know in the comments below.
